Errol de Freitas, President of the San Nicolas Business Association, revealed the group’s goal to engage the entire community in the ongoing development of San Nicolas. Though progress is underway, De Freitas noted the pace of development is slower than hoped.
Highlighting the success of the well-known Secrets Hotel chain, which has opened half its rooms in Aruba and expects full completion by mid-July, De Freitas emphasized the challenge remains on how to foster steady growth in the surrounding neighborhood.
After discussions with local property owners, the Association has crafted a vision focused on balanced, sustainable growth. This vision is now being formally presented to the government for consideration to ensure San Nicolas’ development proceeds in a coordinated and beneficial manner for all.
